Apollo Group TV vs Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV bundles live channels with the Hulu library, Disney+ and ESPN Select. Since September 2026 that bundle costs $99.99 a month. Here's what that means next to Apollo Group TV.
The short version
Hulu + Live TV is a big package: live channels, Hulu's on-demand catalog, Disney+ and ESPN Select in one subscription. If your household uses all of it, that's a lot of entertainment in one bill.
The bill is the part to look at. For new subscribers since September 23, 2026, the plan with ads is $99.99 a month and the no-ads version $109.99. A year with ads comes to $1,199.88 before taxes.
Apollo Group TV is for people who mainly want live channels and an on-demand library at a much lower yearly cost: one payment for the length you choose, and no automatic renewal.

- One payment per pack instead of a monthly bill that keeps running.
- The same service on every pack: you only choose the length.
- Written support in a single ticket, with a guide for every supported device.
When Hulu + Live TV may suit you better
- Disney+, the Hulu library and ESPN Select are part of the price.
- Cloud DVR and official apps from a major media company.
- A good fit if the family already watches a lot of Disney and Hulu originals.
Our verdict
If your household lives in Disney and Hulu originals, Hulu + Live TV's bundle has real value. If live channels are what you're paying for, Apollo Group TV gets you there for far less over a year.
